Am enjoying being here

I am truly enjoying myself at this school. It is a great experience because this school is very diverse and small so the students may meet a new person every day.

Am learning a lot

Even though AUM isn't one the most well known colleges, I have to say that this is very good school to attend to further your education as well as begin it. AUM has some of the best accredited professors who are very educated in their particular field. They will make sure you succeed in your classes no matter how much effort it requires to help you.

Micah from Wetumpka, AL

if you are an Alabama native and plan to go into business this is the best deal you can get.

Will enjoy being here

the people at and around the college are great. i have lived in this area most of my life so i can tell you that Montgomery is not the most exciting city so you might find your self bored from time to time.

Will learn a lot

this college has one of the best business programs world wide, and coupled with the fact that most classes have 30 or less students in them the education is second to none.

I will enjoy attended this college. I know you all also. Auburn teaches you to stand up and make somthing out of yourself. Being the first grand child to attend college I will love to attend Auburn, and make my family proud. I'm ready to stand on my own two feet. Independent I am.

Will learn a lot

After doing my research on Auburn, I've learned that Auburn, will help with the business I need in life. So, i can better myself and became somebody and be independent.

Mary from Montgomery, AL

students who want the college experience while being at a close-knit place where you can actually learn people's name and faces and people can know you.

Tips for prospective students

If you have a job while going to school here be prepared to get a little overwhelmed at times but just make sure to have a scheduled planned out and stick to it and you'll get through it. Go to class unless its a dire emergency bcuz they don't play about the attendance and you can get kicked out. Have fun of course and join stuff cuz itll keep you from stressin out.

Bang for the buck

The dorms are awesome and you would have thought that the 4 bedroom for four people would have been kinda small because of the price but they are surprisingly big and comfy and you definitely get your moneys worth. As for the classes the money is worth it because they are small and personal so the teacher can get to know you and you can ask them for any help.

Am enjoying being here

I really enjoy being here and can't wait to actually stay on campus because there are plenty of activities going on that i miss out on. I am getting the college experience I wanted while being at a small campus where it isn't overwhelming.

Am learning a lot

I am learning a great deal here and most of the teachers are really understanding.

Hannah from Wetumpka, AL

AUM has their own set of policemen that are on campus at all times. It is a very safe university for all students.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

This past year, we got a new mascot, which is a bit unusual, but it brought many interesting polls and activities to campus.

Bang for the buck

Unless you receive a scolarship, AUM is an expensive university. However, they do supply food cards to first year students for a cheap amount.

What to do for fun

AUM has many activities throughout the semester. Sometimes they even give out free food at these events. For the nightlife, they have plays to watch and put together events such as: The Hunger Games and paint wars.

Dorm Life

I am not aware of the dorm life at AUM. I did not stay on campus.

AUM is very challenging for every student that I have spoken to, including myself. Every student must attend class and pay attention to receive a passing grade.

Tips for prospective students

Prospective students should know this is not high school and AUM will challenge your academic abilities.

In three sentences

AUM is a challenging university. It is perfect for preparing students for their future, regardless of their major. I know if I receive services from an AUM graduate, they will know their business.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is excellent! The rooms in North Commons are great for privacy. There is always activities going on in the dorms to keep students busy and entertained.

Academic Rigor

Some of the classes are tough but personal time with teachers is always avaliable. Also the tutoring lab is always open with someone ready to help. The labs aren't as fast paced as they are at other schools so the learning style is just right.

Tips for prospective students

Take a tour of the entire campus. Check out the website for details about the school. Get a chance to be more familiar with the school before you attend orientation.

In three sentences

In three sentences

the university as a whole is very competent; the staff and faculty, the technical support and the overall impression invoke a feeling of high regard. the facilities, although undergoing reconstruction, are shaping up to be quite nice. the only negative thing i have to say about the university is that i have only a couple more years left.

Auburn University is a great school to get an education. All of my professors have showed academic support and really do care about my education. I have learned so much since I have started school at AUM.

Campus Safety

I feel really safe living on campus. There is a police station located on campus. The campus police patrol the whole campus 24/7. There are emergency posts on campus if help is needed, which connects directly to campus police.

Clubs and Activities

As I stated before, there are a variety of campus organizations that are offered to students. Whether its a theatre club, campus ministries, multicultural clubs, etc. They give students an opportunity to connect with others.

Great for these types of students

Auburn University at Montgomery is a great school for students who are looking for a smaller campus, interacting with people from different cultures, joining a variety of clubs and organizations, and students who have a good work ethic.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria has five different restaurants that students have a choice of eating from. The way that the cafeteria is set up is like a grocery store or convenient store. They have fresh fruit cups, salads, desserts, yogurt, fresh fruit, a variety of ice cream, snacks, sodas, bottled water, fruit smoothies, and many more beverages.

Dorm Life

My freshman year living on campus started off different for me because I have always lived with my family let alone strangers, but now I enjoy living on campus because it allows me to meet new people and form friendships.

Academic Rigor

Some of the classes can be hard but that is only because the professors here at AUM strive for the students to do their best and they are passionate about their field of studies.

Tips for prospective students

If a student would like to attend this school, I would recommend speaking to professors if you have questions because they are here to answer those questions. There are tutoring centers on campus that are free for all students to help with a variety of subjects.

In three sentences

Food and Dining

Haven't started yet so i wouldn't know.

Dorm Life

I'm not staying on campus so I wouldn't know what dorm life is like.

In three sentences

I'm a future student for the fall, while I was in High School I was a part of Cyber Patriot. So I was able to be at AUM all throughout my senior year, and from my experience it's a great school, with small classes which i like,and I met a lot of great people while visiting. The campus is very diverse and has various activities. I enjoyed going there throughout my senior year, and can't wait to start in the fall...

Campus Safety

The campus safety could be a lot better. There are about 3 security guards that occasionally roam the parking lots to make sure students are ok. A lot of students have night classes and have to travel across campus by themselves and anything can happen to them during this time period.

Greek Life

Greek Life isnt that popular at Auburn University at Montgomery. You have a few sororities and ferternaties but not a lot of people get involved in them.

Great for these types of students

Auburn University at Montgomery will be great for students that want an education but don't want to spend that much money on their tuition. Also students that aren't that social and like low key enviorments will enjoy being at this university.

What to do for fun

There isn't much to do for fun at Auburn University at Montgomery. The wellness center is the only location where several students would go to have fun.

Food and Dining

The food that the cafe offers isn't bad but the school can provide the students with more options. The servers in the cafe are very rude also.

Dorm Life

The Dorm life experience is horrible. The dorms have leaks and the RA's are very strict. The only good thing about the dorms is that you can wash your clothes for free.

Academic Rigor

The academic requirments are that high at this university. The professors are very leaniant and understanding. If you apply yourself more than likely you can pass all your classes with at least a B.

Tips for prospective students

Gaining a personal relationship with your professors will be a tremendous help. Their guidance can assit you in all aspects of learning. It would also be beneficial to find other students that are intreseted in your same major, you guys will be able to work with one another.

In three sentences

Auburn University at Montgomery is a great school to attend for freshman students that are trying to live on their own and find themselves. The academic requirements aren't that challenging as long as you apply yourself. The professors and kind and willing to work with you.

JJ from Birmingham, AL

Students that care more about education than football games and parties will like this school. There are still parties and clubs of course, but AUM is a bit more lowkey than other schools.

Bang for the buck

AUM offers a great education in a smaller setting for a lot cheaper than some bigger schools. You'll be more than just a name or number here as long as you make an effort. Most classes have about 20-30 students. Lectures may have up to 80, but that's still smaller then most schools. Most of the teachers really care about your grades and whether you pass.

What to do for fun

After you meet people that you click with, pretty much whatever you want. There's a new wellness center, lots of clubs and organizations. There are two shopping malls really close by, a movie theater, and lots of places to eat out. There is no football team, but there are lots of other sporting events like soccer, tennis, and basketball.

Food and Dining

Food can get expensive, but you have $600 on a meal card if you live on campus. Spend it wisely. You can also get a little tired of cafe food pretty quickly, so stock up your fridge.

Dorm Life

I voted higher because you can choose a dorm where you can have a private bedroom. There's not always a lot going on, but there's more to do if you reach out and make friends.

Academic Rigor

Voted the best school in Montgomery.

Tips for prospective students

If you like a small, close-knit environment then this is the school for you. There are lots of activities and plenty of free amenities. Montgomery is really small and quiet, so you may find yourself bored at times. As long as you find a good group of friends you'll probably love it here.

In three sentences

AUM is a very small school with lots of friendly people, though most are commuters. Small class size, free laundry, internet and cable, and private bedroom dorms are just a few things to look forward to. It may not have the college feel you would expect, but if you care more about education then it's a good school.

Freddie from Montgomery, AL

Campus police are 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year only if you need them which you probably wont unless you lock you keys in the car like me.

Greek Life

AMAZING!!!! I am a proud member of Greek Life. I recommend it to everyone.

Clubs and Activities

Student Government Association Campus Activities Board Tour Guides

Great for these types of students

outgoing, career driven, smart, friendly, and dedicated students.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have one Palm Tree on campus but its up to you to figure out where. Good Luck!

Bang for the buck

What to do for fun

Join one of the 60+ organizations AUM offers. Also enjoy downtown Montgomery with friends. You can even stay on campus and have fun in the on campus student lounge.

Food and Dining

Its great but nothings better then a home cooked meal. They offer great hours for dinning and picking up to go food. They also provide meal plans for students living on or off campus.

Dorm Life

Its fun! A very safe place for students to learn. A great place to enjoy yourself.

Academic Rigor

Its not the worlds easiest university but Auburn Montgomery provides enough tutor options to help make students successful in their classes. They provide every level of tutoring. They also provide events where professors come out and help.

Tips for prospective students

1. Look for a University that fits your personality but allows room for growth. 2. Make sure you look into every scholarship option available. 3. This is a big decision so make sure its where YOU want to be and what makes YOU happy. 4. Pick Auburn University of Montgomery because it embodies 1-3.

In three sentences

This is a great university. It has began to prepare me for a future full of success. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities that have been put in front of me. I know that this hands down is the best university out there.

Campus Safety

There is always security driving and walking the grounds. Along with the emergency call stations located all over campus. Any time these stations are activated it sends an alarm to the nearby campus officer.

Greek Life

There are many Greek associations on campus. Enough that i can not name them all. The school holds a Greek week in the quad each semester to present and attract new members.

Clubs and Activities

There is no lack of clubs to join. From art and film to trading card games the students and faculty ensure a rich variety of activities. If your bored enough you can always go to Warhawk Alley and play a game of pool or sit down and check out a game for the xbox360.

Great for these types of students

AUM has something to offer for almost any type of student. You like art? There are always exhibits on campus. Theater? The Theatre AUM is always running shows. Sports? There is no lack of campus teams or athletic facilities. Its a very diverse school with a lot to offers those who give it the chance.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are a lot of art exhibits on campus. One is located on the outer loop of the school its in a pond and is made to flow with the water. It is always changing.

Bang for the buck

The food on campus can get expensive but only if you dont know what to order. Asking for a container of meat and vegetables gets you a small container of just that for around three bucks. Instead of the six you pay for a larger portion size plate of the same thing. When your broke its a quick filling meal thats cheap too.

What to do for fun

You can go to the wellness center and join a fitness class.There are always activities occurring on the Quad or in the Taylor center. If you want you can catch a play at Theatre AUM. There is also Warhawk alley which holds a pool table and an xbox360 with games you can check out. There are also many clubs affiliated with the school. If anything some of the nearby restaurants such as Flip's and Moe's offer discounted food for AUM students and you can enjoy good food with some friends.

Food and Dining

The food is expensive. However the food is good. There is a Starbucks nearby on the campus as well as the roost. In the roost there is several choices you can go for. There is the Chicken, hamburgers, wraps, and almost anything you can think of. No fast food however.

Dorm Life

The school offers three different living styles. In the north commons its almost like apartment living. The courtyard is good for families and those who are married. The newest Warhawk alley is a very up-to-date modern facility. All of them offer convenient access to the campus. There are gender restrictions however they are not anything unreasonable. The dorms offer laundry and have commons for the students to meet and hang out.

Academic Rigor

It's not an easy school. The classes are challenging, but you will learn. The school has a strict satisfactory academic progress requirement. It is fun but the classes require your attendance and participation. The campus offers tutoring and a learning center for help. You have to complete your work, but the classes are worth the effort.

Tips for prospective students

Just ask, no one on the campus will bite, if you think your lost someone is always on campus who can show you the way. Make use of the schools advisers, they are very helpful. Come to one of the schools celebrations on the quad, most of the time its open to the public as well as the student body. Get a feel for the awesome environment that AUM has to offer.

In three sentences

This school has a fun and engaging campus lifestyle. From the wellness center to the Quad's endless activities it is never dull. The classes are worth every penny and you will learn to enjoy the diversity of the campus staff.

Befriend upperclassmen or students who have been at AUM for at least a year. We have invaluable advice about classes, majors, and activities in and around AUM.

In three sentences

Auburn University at Montgomery is one of the schools to definitely be looking at these upcoming years. AUM is a great environment for students that is focused on a student-centered experience. One of the greatest things about this school is that students control what happens here; students have the authority to propose changes to most administrative documents including the Strategic Plan and are credited with the implementation of over $60 million worth of renovations and constructions on our gorgeous campus, while also being able to have a great deal of control over student activities.

Tips for prospective students

Get involved! However you can just meet new people and join any of the numerous organizations on campus! If you can't find one perfect for you then create a new group! That's the beauty of AUM.

In three sentences

AUM is the place to be! We are growing constantly and campus is an exciting place to be right now! AUM is a family that loves each other and takes care of each other.

Safety is a priority for AUM, students are never far from a patrolling campus police car. The campus is well lit for students with late running classes or night time study sessions in the library.

Greek Life

Greek life has a presence on campus but not overbearing as I've seen at some Universities during their Rush Week.

Clubs and Activities

Since AUM caters to a smaller group the activities and clubs are well organized and engage the students, new and old, to become more active with the University during their educational stay.

Great for these types of students

This campus is great for non-traditional students and those continuing education.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I have not quite had the time to explore the campus thoroughly to find any unusual locations.

Bang for the buck

I actually think that AUM offers way more bang for your buck. I receive the diversity and multiculturalism of a huge university, with the reserve and since of home of a smaller campus.

What to do for fun

For fun, try to attend the plethora of activities offered throughout the semester, from quaint movie nights to huge sports events.

Food and Dining

The food option is the best of both worlds. It is a fusion between health and taste.

Dorm Life

I don't live in the dorms

Academic Rigor

The professors stress the importance of education and balance, but they do not forget that real life exists.

Tips for prospective students

AUM is a great school to become involved in academic and athletic programs. All of their programs are welcoming to incoming students.

In three sentences

AUM is the ideal school for continuing students, non-traditional students, as well as first time students. It has a local appeal and a since of community while maintaining the academic advances to compete with the larger Universities. Technologically speaking AUM is, in my opinion, a forerunner in the use of up-to-date equipment and applying it to all aspects of the University.

Campus Safety

Campus Safety is good. When you leave for night classes there is always a AUM police officer in the parking lot making sure everyone gets to their car safely. I have always felt safe there. There is always a police officer going up and down the parking lot making sure everyone and everything is okay.

Clubs and Activities

There are many clubs and activities. Although I don't have time to be involved in them they are great for the younger student.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is an unusual amount of cats and squirrels at AUM. The squirrels are not scared of people either and will come right up to your table. There is also unique art pieces and sculptures that were donated to the campus that I love to look at or take pictures of.

Bang for the buck

Aum has many research opportunities for students that give you one on one with a professor working uniquely on a project or experiment. There are also many other types of opportunities for students as well.

What to do for fun

You can go to AUM Theatre and watch a play or go to the Wellness and fitness center to work out they have a full access gym, pool, rock climbing wall and many other things. Or you can go to starbucks or the AUMazing Bean which is where you'll normally find me. Aum also has many clubs, activities and sports you can be involved in.

Food and Dining

The food is pretty good. I like the sushi and the noodle and rice bowls with your choice of meat and vegetables. Could use more of a variety though.

Dorm Life

I have never lived in a dorm I live off campus but the dorms look pretty nice.

Academic Rigor

Most of the professors at AUM really care about their students and are passionate about teaching and that makes you want to learn.

Tips for prospective students

Come at least 15 minutes early for class because parking is sometimes difficult.

I love Aum. They have some really amazing and caring professors there whom I will never forget. I feel at home there and love the vibe and people and professors. I have met great friends there and have learned so much from my time there and from my professors.
